Question for current Navy guys

[ABNAK]

Do they still do bread and water only for brig inmates while at sea?

Piss and punk is still used, yes.

But I can't tell if your question means "do they still do only bread and water" or do they do it "only while at sea"

On two of the vessels where I served bread and water would be an improvement over most of the chow we were served on the mess deck.

Yup, only at sea. Ashore, they get sent to a brig facility which serves whatever chow they serve, probably as bad as being on bread and water.

Thanks for the link. The bread and water "diminished rations" thing seems a bit of a throwback to days-gone-by. I'm surprised in today's PC climate that this is still allowed. I did note it has a 3 day limit though.

Appreciate all the replies fellas!
